by my community bus driver that "their building an iron dome over Israel"....he must get his information from the same place these do. It's embarrassing to see such ignorance in America. Have people always been this stupid? I don't remember them being this bad, but then maybe it's me.

if we humans really are nothing more than glorified apes or whatever(not that we actually ARE, of course! But I can't blame people for thinking that when thinking about stuff like this, jokingly or not).

it's always one place, or two radio programs, or one TV channel. How do you let yourself get so wrapped up in a warped version of reality without any curiosity whatsoever? It baffles me.

when the real issue is Affordable Health Care or No Affordable Health Care.

They're always going to hate the President, but they will appreciate the ACA and having more access to affordable health care.

Some day we'll get single payer.

There are a lot of SMART PEOPLE in NYC...and New York State. They must be informed voters enough to know NOT TO VOTE for Romney, and I know NY is a blue state. Sometimes hunting down these kinds of people make great entertainment, but you are not going to tell me this is the average person... People read Newspapers still, they have talk radio, they have TV and internet... Those who do not know about whats going on today, simply don't care or have no qualms about living day by day without sticking their face in a newspaper. We should have more informed voters but there will always be a few who just opt out.

Chip Implants Linked to Animal Tumors

-- When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients' medical records almost instantly. The FDA found "reasonable assurance" the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005's top "innovative technologies."

But neither the company nor the regulators publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had "induced" malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats.

"The transponders were the cause of the tumors," said Keith Johnson, a retired toxicologic pathologist, explaining in a phone interview the findings of a 1996 study he led at the Dow Chemical Co. in Midland, Mich.

Leading cancer specialists reviewed the research for The Associated Press and, while cautioning that animal test results do not necessarily apply to humans, said the findings troubled them. Some said they would not allow family members to receive implants, and all urged further research before the glass-encased transponders are widely implanted in people.

To date, about 2,000 of the so-called radio frequency identification, or RFID, devices have been implanted in humans worldwide, according to VeriChip Corp. The company, which sees a target market of 45 million Americans for its medical monitoring chips, insists the devices are safe, as does its parent company, Applied Digital Solutions, of Delray Beach, Fla.
